$150k could make you the most desired man in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, but $1M may not turn many heads in San Francisco or NY.
That's right, they are talking about attracting the hot ones (jk jk)
I see these posts so often on here and I find it really depressing.
Personality and confidence go a looooong way. I just wish you guys would realize that. Then again most of you work in super corporate environments which fuel these sad posts and social circles.
I’m a solid 6 in the looks department
but my wife is an easy 8/9.
Girls have merely found me “cute” from high school on up post college, but it’s my confidence and personality that has enabled me to punch way above my weight class.
Rather than focus on not being attractive or wealthy enough, take an improv and/or comedy class. Go to comedy clubs, and merging artist galleries. Expose yourself to fun activities that expand your social circle and grow your personality and confidence in the process.
Date for money like sugar-daddy 'here's an Amex with your name on it' or 'we go to nice dinners and nice trips'?
It depends on the girl’s looks
If you’re a 10, I’d say multiple 10s of millions and above
But it goes down quickly if you’re not a 10
AP1 I’m making that in central Texas with 2 in public school and nobody’s dating me for my money.
Could also be that my wife frowns on me dating.

Much less than you’d think. Try seeking arrangements.

Why would you want to date a woman you know is only dating you for money? Are you looking for a hxe or are you looking for a woman to date? This is why you guys get treated so poorly. You want the ones that you have to do this kind of stuff for. In my opinion....stop chasing after women that aren't interested in just being with you. There are a lot of straight women that will live you for you,but you insist of chasing women that will definitely hurt your feelings. Why?
A1 - no, if that was his concern then, he’d simply refrain from telling a woman about his finances…
The question really is can you noticeably upgrade someone’s lifestyle? At that point women will pursue you for money. Location, their looks, your personality, and your looks play a part as well. But if you’re willing to date women that are 6,7,8 in most places $300-500k could probably do the trick unless you’re a complete jerk. Nothing can fix that.

I’m in NYC, and am married and also not that type of gal, but if I try to put myself in her shoes, probably someone who makes upwards of $400K base with a nice bonus and who owns their place.
My husband is a stay at home father. I value that immensely about him. All that to say, it depends on the kind of woman you’re trying to attract and what she’s looking for. There are other things you can bring to the table rather than looks and money. And you’re likely to find someone more compatible if you focus on those things.
It depends on the woman, the city, and whether your status includes yachts or just premium Spotify. 😂
On a more serious note, if someone is only dating you for your bank account, the number is probably never quite enough. The finish line keeps moving.

Dude, you just need to have your s**t together to be a zaddy.
A lot more than you’re making if you’re a strategy manager (and I mean no offense to that, I’m not making sugar daddy money either).
If you can comfortably afford spending 7-10k on a woman monthly without blinking for a prolonged period of time to give you an idea
In that case, refer to my second sentence.
It’s not necessarily about how much you make, but how much you can comfortably spend on a woman like that
Courtney Ryan on YouTube has a funny/sad video about Asking Women About Male Income that helps answer this question. The general answer is that it ranges and many are unrealistic.
If you’re looking to avoid that situation, then when you date, you don’t have to talk in detail about what you do, don’t give any indication of how much you have (ie no fancy jewelry, cars, designer clothes, going to very high end restaurants right out of the gate, etc) show up pretty normal. Your social media should be private and not give those indications either.
Keep the date to who you are as people. The gold digging type will lose interest pretty fast and move on if they can’t nail down how much you’re worth.
Top 1% for the area, at minimum.
That said, I think people use the words in different ways. In my social circle, most of the men make 400k to low millions. None of the women seem like they married / dated the men for money. Most of them work, and aren’t that attractive. But, many of them wouldn’t have married a man who wasn’t successful. So, the money wouldn’t be enough, but might’ve been necessary. Does that count? I say no.
The true dating-for-money women likely want spending on them, and don’t actually know how much the guy makes. I’d think you need to spend at least a few grand per month. But honestly, I almost never see that—usually it’s the dude that wants to use money to trade up for a younger, hotter option, and knows what he’s getting.
I know hot (and not at all) girls who dated guys in college for money. They were both broke as every other college kid, but they would date any idiot who was willing to pay for them.
I also know men and women who migrated to other countries, and they started dating (using) regular people just for accommodation. The moment they got on their feet, they left them.
So I guess being with someone for the money doesn't necessarily involve a fortune or hot people.

Depends on the date but some could be as low as low as $80K - $100K a year in the US
For me, multiple millions. i’d a 5 or 6 out of 10, then tens of millions
Rising Star
I’d say 20m+
